Lyrics
Can't Stay Away
D A
When the time came I asked her for her hand
G A
And I've been holding on to it since then
D A
My life changed and I did too
G A D
She gave me strength without me asking her to
CHO
G A D
I can't stay away from her to long
Bm G Em A
She'll set me straight when I get home
G D
I see her face smiling in the twilight
G A D
When I get home it will be all right
Three kids later she's the heart of our home
We've raised our kids and our love has grown
Can't you see how I adore her
Because of her we've got so much life
Still looking forward as we grow old
There's so much more to unfold
I thank the day I took her hand
Because of her there's been so much love
